# Themes

The whole look of the game comes from a theme. Scenes and scripts never set colours,
font sizes or style boxes themselves; they name one of the theme's styles instead, and
`tests/integration/test_theme.gd` checks that it stays that way.

| Theme | File | |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | `main_theme.tres` | The default. Also the project theme (Project Settings → GUI → Theme → Custom), which the editor shows |
| Original web | `original_web_theme.tres` | Looks like MusicFrontend, the web version: orange-bordered buttons, `#333` header and popups, `#424242` panels, `#4e4e4e` alternating rows, a yellow playing song and a light grey player bar |
| Nord | `nord_theme.tres` | Dark blues from the app icon (`#1e4a69` window, `#1a3e5a` panels, `#29577f` buttons) with Nord's Snow Storm text, Frost and Aurora accents: Aurora yellow `#EBCB8B` for the playing song and highlights. Round shapes: pill buttons and tabs, 14–16 px corners, soft shadows on popups, cards and the player bar, and rounded text fields |
| Christmas | `christmas_theme.tres` | Santa and a Christmas tree: Christmas red (`#7a1520` window, `#5c0f18` panels) with snow white buttons and red text, a thick white "fur" trim on popups, cards, the lists and the player bar, the tree's green (`#1f6b3c`) for the chosen tab and the play button, and gold for the playing song and highlights. The same round shapes as Nord |

## Picking a theme

The themes are listed in `Settings.THEMES` (`data/settings.gd`): an id, the name shown
and the file. The player picks one in Settings → Theme, and it applies at once.
`Settings.apply_theme()` sets the theme of the root window, which every control without a
theme of its own uses, and saves the id as `theme_id` in `settings.cfg`. The saved theme
is applied when the game starts.

Code that reads theme colours itself redraws on `NOTIFICATION_THEME_CHANGED`, e.g. the
score graph and the popup backdrop. `Settings.theme_changed` is emitted after a switch.

To see the pictures of the screenshot tour in another theme, pass its id:
`godot --path . -s tools/take_screenshots.gd -- <dir> original_web`.

## Making a new theme

1. Copy `main_theme.tres`, e.g. to `dark_blue_theme.tres`.
2. Open the copy in Godot (double-click it) and change its colours, style boxes and font
   sizes in the theme editor. Keep every style's name.
3. Add it to `Settings.THEMES`. `test_theme.gd` checks that it has every style, colour and
   size that `main_theme.tres` has.

The **font** is the theme's default font, Godot's own Open Sans with Noto Sans JP for
Japanese text; see `fonts/README.md`.

Icons (play, restart, add player, the slider and switch knobs) are not part of the theme;
they come from the image files in `icons/` and Godot's built-in theme.

## What is in the theme

**Godot's default look** for every kind of control the game uses (Button, Label, Panel,
CheckButton, sliders, scroll bars, text fields and so on), copied in so it can be changed
here.
